Arsenal’s most recent summer saw them add Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres to a side who are challenging for a treble under manager Mikel Arteta.
However, despite their success this season, Arsenal has struggled in attack and have relied on goals from set pieces and their midfield due to their toothless attack.
Speaking to BOYLE Sports, who offer the latest football odds, Gallas suggested that his former side go all out to sign Barcola, the 23-year-old who has starred for the European champions for a number of years.
“Even up front they’ve got the wingers, but the only thing is maybe they still need one world-class striker or to change the style of the team.
“Gyokeres has scored goals, but he hasn’t scored enough goals so he has to reach a minimum 20 goals next season and it will be difficult for him if Arsenal are going to play the same way because he doesn’t really dominate the league physically like he did in Portugal.
“Maybe you need a left-winger because I don’t know what has happened to Gabriel Martinelli, he’s just not what he was, and Leandro Trossard is a good squad player but you need something else.
“Would I prefer Khvicha Kvaratskhelia or Bradley Barcola for Arsenal? Barcola. When you’ve got a striker like Gyokeres, you need players to give him the ball to score the goals, and that’s why maybe some of Arsenal’s style has to change, or Arsenal need to change their striker.”
Arsenal have been linked with a number of world-class talents heading into the summer window and manager Mikel Arteta will have Barcola on his transfer list which is only growing bigger as the club strive for silverware.
